Each year, PROMISE and the Graduate School host a dinner seminar that allows graduate students to ask questions of faculty. This year, our  annual "When Faculty Say 'X', They Really Mean 'Y'" seminar will be held on Monday, October 17, 2011 in the Library, 7th floor. It is important to note that faculty often say that when they say 'X', they really mean 'X' and not something else. Are students hearing something different? Are faculty conveying ideas that are lost in translation? Or are there particular phrases and ways of saying things that students are still learning?


This is your chance to ask the faculty any questions about expectations, understanding requirements, how they say "no", how they show their approval, etc.

This seminar was moved to a Monday at the suggestion of the Graduate Student Association. It is timed at 5:00 PM to accommodate our part-time students.

You are invited to post questions here. If you would prefer to post questions to faculty anonymously, you may post them here: http://promisesuccessseminars.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/when-faculty-say-x-ask-questions-hear-from-faculty-dinner-seminar-monday-1017/
